My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and I got so much stuff! I took pictures of the doll-related things and put them on the blog:

I got Chrissa's Craft Studio. It is so cute! It is much more awesome in person than on the website... believe me! There is a sewing machine (and I love to sew), yarn, knitting needles, pencils, scissors, thread, an organizer, a bowl (that her dad apparently made), a notebook for designing, a pincushion, and a measuring tape.

Here's the sewing machine up close. When you turn it on, the presser foot moves up and down. It is so fun to play with, and I think that all of my dolls are enjoying it already.

I got two Barbie dolls! The one on the left is "Sales Resistance" and Lucy's in her traditional blue and white polka-dotted dress. The one on the right is the one I got for Hanukkah, but I figured I'd put it in anyway, because it is so cute! This one is from "Lucy Gets a Paris Gown". That is my favorite episode!

Talking about Hanukkah, I'll make a post once Hanukkah is over and show all of my doll-related gifts. Also, I wanted to tell everyone about a book I got for my birthday. It's called Do Hard Things and it's a nonfiction book about how teenagers are actually using up the best years of their lives being lazy. I highly recommend this book. It's really good!

Happy holidays to everyone! -Hal

The Dress I Made

Here's the dress that I'm going to wear to American Girl Place! It took me a couple of hours to make it, and I am so proud of myself!!

Here's a far-away version. Sorry it's a bit blurry, but it was hard to take pictures of.

Here's an up-close version. I chose the black and the hot pink so that it would match American Girl Place colors.

I hope everyone likes it! Pictures will be posted again soon!!!

New info and Opinion #3

Still can't find the battery... What else is new?

Well, I'll tell you!

1. In December, I celebrate three things: My birthday, Christmas, and Hanukkah. I can't wait for all three! I have a wish list all made up and ready to go for when the days come.
2. It's supposed to rain all next week. I am so excited, because rain is my favorite kind of weather.
3. Winter break is coming soon, which means that the FPAfG Gala is coming, too! All the girls can't wait!

And here's an Opinion from Felicity, Elizabeth, Julie, Kimi, and Rebecca:

1. What's your favorite American Girl character (not including friends)?
2. Have you heard of the new GOTY? Are you excited?
3. What's your favorite new AG outfit?

All right... it's my turn to answer them.

1. I have a tie between Felicity, Julie, and Rebecca.
2. I am SUPER excited! I have been SO excited, that I've done a post on her. If you'd like to see it, go to the my "Tags" in the sidebar, and click on GOTY.
3. I like the silver one with all the flowers on it. It's soooo pretty!

Once again, happy Winter! I will try to post pictures S-O-O-N! -Hal

Opinion #2 (Kinda Small) and Other Random Updates

Hello everyone! I can't believe that its been 4 days since my last post, and it is only 1 day until December! It's my favorite month.


Pictures are coming, I can assure you!!! I have so much to take pictures of! The pajama (gala) party, the things I got at my sewing teacher's boutique, the dress that I made for both my doll and me to go to AG place, and all the new stuff I'll be making! : )


I have an opinion to ask of you: Have you ever been to AG place (it can be one of those boutique/cafe AG places)? If so, what was your favorite thing?


Mine is the historical doll section. It's so neat!

New Stuff

Guess what? I was at a thrift shop yesterday (looking for some cheap Halloween goodies) and I came across Kit's Pajamas (the blue ones) for... guess how much! $5!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! There was nothing wrong with them; they were just missing a button on the pants. But who cares when they are so cheap?

Also, I finished my dress (and my doll's, too) yesterday! They are black with a pink ribbon around the waist. They are too cute! I can't wait to wear them to AG Place! I will take pictures of them ASAP.

PS- Do you think that I should get a new format for my website?

For My Birthday

I know it's really early, seeing my birthday is in December, but I wanted to tell everyone my scheme. I am really excited for it! I decided to go to American Girl Place and have lunch there. I love AG Place, don't you? Anyway, I'm going to make matching dresses for the doll I'll bring- Kimi- and me. I bought some black fabric with grey swirls on it... and I'll spice it up with a pink ribbon to go around the waist. I am so excited!
